Looks interesting. I'd say it could be sped up even more if it would 
keep the greylist in memory. Then it would only have to be renewed after 
a reboot (which should be rare). Which I think is not such a big issue 
since greylist data is not mission critical and should be flushed every 
now and then anyways. Of course this could be done by just using a 
ramdisk, but I can imagine using direct memory access without a (ram) 
filesystem overhead would be a bit faster. Whether it all be worth it is 
a second matter.

The format of an email address is rather strict. I doubt you could run 
into such problems since they'd be caught by the MTA as it would reject 
it at the smtp level.
